I don't see what you're trying to do here; apparently myrowsource has a column named mydatasource, but how is PG
supposedto know which mydatasource you mean - the declared one or the one from mydatasource? The same goes for
myrowsource.
I'm pretty sure you have a naming conflict.
Or did you intend to write:
myvariable := array(unnest(myrowsource));
That probably still doesn't work. I have no installation of 8.4 at my disposal atm, so I can't verify, but IIRC unnest
doesn'treturn an array, but something else. You probably need to cast it to the right type first.
